Is this believable...!!

I worked in Bosnia during the period in which the events depicted in the movie took place. While I cannot speak directly to the details of the events as shown, having in mind it is a dramatization, and many of the characters are either fictional or composites, I can unequivocally confirm that UN personnel, including (but not only) U.S. contractors, were deeply involved in sex trafficking, from recruiting girls in their home countries (e.g. Romania) to transporting the girls across international borders and delivering them to their "owners," even protecting their owners from local police who actually wanted to investigate criminal activity and, of course, as customers. Meaning, they purchased girls from their owners to take them as their own personal sex slaves.

The UN did exactly what the film shows, conspired with the contracting companies and their respective countries, and sent those involved home with no disciplinary measures or criminal charges, in order to cover the whole thing up. Many of those involved still work as police officers, or have even gone on to other international missions.

Only after all those involved had been sent home did the UN conduct an oversight investigation, in which I gave statements, but the official result of that investigation was that there was "insufficient evidence" of its personnel being involved.

However, it was not only UN personnel involved. As the film suggests, military personnel from the international Stabilization Force (SFOR), including U.S., British and Dutch forces, as well as diplomatic personnel from other organizations, were also involved, and the top levels of the military command at least had knowledge of this fact. There is documented evidence that trafficked girls were delivered to U.S. Eagle Base in Tuzla, as well as other bases, for parties.

And kindly note that I use the term girls rather than women, because some were as young as 12.

By the way, most likely to protect themselves from a lawsuit, the filmmakers changed the name of the U.S. contractor to Democra. I'm not worried about a lawsuit, so let's get the name straight. It's DynCorp.

Also for the record, the head of the UN Mission in Bosnia at the time, senior U.S. diplomat Jacques Paul Klein (represented in the film by the fictional character "Bill Hynes"), knew exactly what was going on under his command, and even tried to get Madeline Rees fired for looking into the issue. But the UN rewarded him with another mission, in Liberia. And guess what happened there? More scandals, including Klein's own affair with a woman linked to the regime of the ousted Liberian dictator Charles Taylor.

But don't despair. As the film shows, there are good people everywhere, even in screwed up organizations. Moreover, there are also international organizations besides the UN, which take human rights issues seriously. While this film depicts Kathryn Bolkovac's investigation as a sort of one-person crusade, in fact other organizations were conducting their own investigations, and the mounting evidence helped to build the pressure and bring about a change in attitude in the UN command. Eventually, local police were able to do their jobs and raid the brothels, many girls were repatriated to their home countries, and many involved were given prison sentences.

Of course, all of this is well-documented, in Bolkovac's book and numerous media articles. DynCorp has had judgements against them, but they continue to get billions of dollars in U.S. government contracts, and their employees consistently get involved in sex slavery, including their current presence in Afghanistan.

A real eye opener and true too. UN more like United Pimps.
